Make a perfectly adorbs pawprint! Whether your school mascot was four-legged or you simply adore your furry friends, join Weld Like A Girl for a pawesomely good time! Blacksmith then weld a pawprint… Turn it into a wall hanging, trivet or garden art. (Go ‘Pards.)
First, learn basic blacksmithing and welding safety. Next, use a forge to heat and hammer horseshoes to look like cute little doggy/kitty toes. Later, depending upon your particular paw, safely use power tools to fit everything together. Finally, learn GMAW (MIG welding) to connect your toes to a paw. Demonstrations and practice time are provided.
